Lloyd Scott crawled the entire 26 miles of the 2011 London Marathon dressed in a 9 foot snail costume. It took him 26 days to finish. The dried outer coating of acorn kernel bursts at 132 pounds per inch, which allowing us to make popcorn! Bill Haast (1910-2011) of Florida was bitten by a venomous snake so frequently (172 times) that he became immune to snake venom and even had his blood used to save the lives of other bite victims!

A marathon isn’t going to be held over 26 days. He probably started the marathon, but then crawled the rout of the marathon.

101 years old? Maybe that’s the secret of long life. Where can I buy me some venomous snakes?

What in the world or where in the world was Bill Haast that he got bit by snakes so many times? What was he doing? It’s strange and striking! (No pun intended).

I think Bill should’ve moved or something….but wow to live to 101……that’s something.

I remember hearing about Bill Haast, and how his blood saved the lives of lots of snake bite victims. I’m sorry to read that he’s passed on.
